John Sebastian is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the finest songwriters to come from the sixties. He played Woodstock and wooed the hippies with his welcoming voice. With the ‘Spoonful, he penned some big hitters, most notably ‘Summer in the City’ and ‘Daydream’. Anyone who is aware of the rest of their work will tell you, those are two of their weaker singles. Apart from ‘Darling Be Home Soon’ and ‘Nashville Cats‘, the masterwork from the Lovin’ Spoonful was their debut, ‘Do You Believe in Magic?‘ ‘…Magic’ is the most joyous pop single of all time, with Sebastian sounding like he’s-a-gonna pop with happiness… and surely that’s what music is all about? Buy it and make your summer even better.[Mof Gimmers]
